The Los Angeles Astronomical Society leads an evening of astronomy at the Garvey Ranch Observatory, one of the state's few public observatories, every Wednesday night. Weekly activities include free telescope making and a star party.

Check the weather forecast before heading out, and, as with all recurring events, it's a good idea to double check that the event is running as scheduled this week.
